“Pay Attention to THAT Which You are TOLD”

Aug 30th “Pay Attention to THAT Which You are TOLD”

When you are young… you are being told so many important things … that you are also being told to remember always.

But… with so many of us… we hear some stuff, and think that will never apply to me, and just so super fast… that message falls into a trash can… never to be surfaced, until it is too late!

These are old Photos of my, “Father to be” while he was still in the Army in the Philippines,when “U.S. General Douglas MacArthur “

was there… as a reminder that due to my Father’s injuries… as his back was broken while carrying out orders… therefore he was in this “body” cast for over six months… the picture of him on the right shows, that in his recuperating, he was eating very well… as he was unable to do much work while still in service… so they had to remove part of the cast … so that his stomach could come out… as it was increasing in size as they could not remove the cast… his back was in very bad shape.

Over the years…I heard that Daddy’s back was in bad shape and to never do anything that would cause you to ever have to have a “back” surgery… as you will never ever… be the same.

My problem today is that I did have to have two back surgeries and a couple of other surgeries all from a fall here and there… one too many… and NOW… I am wondering if those surgeries were really the right procedure at that time… or was my problem that I did have too good of an Insurance plan… that takes good care of the doctors…. better than they cared for me… because, my back is trying to kill me!

So if it is at all possible, to save another person from having back problems and pain … try to remember that it does not pay to over work your body and back. “Take it easy… for your “BACK’s” sake!”

You only receive one good working back, in the beginning…try to keep it in good working order and do not pretend to be a “Super ” person… that can do everything and anything, because there will come a day… much later, when you are old and grey… and you will wish you did not do all of those dumb things… that are now causing you to be in pain… mostly NOW… because you can not do all that you wish that you could do… if only you were in the best shape as that you could have been in, with only some fore thought of having a better life… if you only took good care of yourself… when all is said and done!
